Chanel often surprises with unexpected releases, and the Box Bag from fall-winter 2024 is a prime example. This understated piece might easily escape notice due to its minimalist design, but its versatility shines through on the runway. Especially when paired with cinematic-inspired dresses in Looks 67 and 68 and Look 32’s knitwear ensemble.
The new addition takes the shape of a chic jewellery box in diamond-quilted lambskin. Opening with a satisfying click, it reveals a leather-lined interior with an interior pocket for essentials. Besides a tonal leather top handle, it also comes with a leather-interlaced shoulder strap.
The boxy style comes in an assortment of colours for the season. The Small Box Bag (SGD9500), which measures 18 cm by 12.5 cm, is available in black, dark brown and light orange. Then the bigger Box Bag (SGD10,420), measuring 22 cm wide and 15 cm high, comes in black and burgundy.
In an era where slouchy, hobo bags like the Chanel 22 are still gaining popularity, the Box Bag from fall-winter 2024 certainly stands out as a hard winner for those who love boxy bags.
